Gazing up from the pavement
In amazement, wonder and fear
At the stars that shine like perfection

Though you can't see the edges from here
I remember the first time I touched them
I recoiled from the shock and I fell

Back to the earth where I lay now
With a longing I never dispel


And all I wanted was to want something too much
And all I needed was the feeling of needing to touch
When I stuck my hand in the heavens

All it came back with were cuts
From the dangerous stars, those dangerous stars


It's like the second between expectation

And the feeling the moment has gone

Injected then left to the craving
A voice with no access to song
I remember pieces of clothing

Ripped as they clung to the rocks
Like the ones who must weep in the shadows
For the highs and the lows and the loss
